Inventor Name: John CuzzoneThe Trickle Ring is a multi-purpose irrigation ring that attaches to a garden hose to efficiently water young trees, shrubs, vegetables, or flower beds using drip or trickle irrigation. It directs water to the root perimeter of the plant to give them a good start during the first two growing seasons or through periods of drought. By adjusting the flow of water to match the rate of soil absorption, water is conserved by eliminating wasteful run-off and evaporation from spraying.
Trickle Rings may also be used as high-pressure spraying fountains to water larger planting beds AND they make a wonderful spray toy for children to cool off in!
Sturdy, versatile, low-profile, inexpensive, and Made in America!

Have you ever seen a kid so dirty you wish you could just tie him up to a tree and spray him down? Or perhaps the kid in question is too young for such measures, so you think about grabbing the child by the shoulders (neck?) and repeatedly dipping him into a warm tub filled with soapy water. Unfortunately, the modern tub is too big to accommodate little tykes safely for either method.
